Marionette lines treatment in Otterbourne & Bishops Waltham
Marionette lines are the lines that form at the corner of the mouth going downwards towards the jawline. They are formed because we age through every layer of our face – the skin, the fat pads and even the bone. So we lose volume in the upper face but gravity pulls down on the loose tissues and forms marionette lines and jowls where the tissues bunch behind the fixed mandibular ligament. The problem is this can cause someone to look sad (when they don’t feel it!) as the corners of the mouth are pulled down.
At our clinic, located in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, and Alresford, we offer effective treatments to address marionette lines and restore a more youthful, lifted appearance. By using dermal fillers or other appropriate treatments, we can soften these lines, lift the corners of the mouth, and help you regain a naturally refreshed look.
If you’re concerned about marionette lines and want to restore a more youthful and happy appearance, book a consultation today at our clinic in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, or Alresford. Let us help you feel confident and look your best!
To address this, it is not as simple as just adding filler to the marionette line, as by adding volume to the lower face without addressing the cause (which is volume loss in the upper face) you can create a mismatch and an overall disharmony to the face. This is when people end up looking a bit odd. Instead, I address the causes of the marionette line by using filler strategically in the cheeks and jawline and chin to help lift and stretch the tissues and support the ligaments which have become lax over time. I then often use a modest amount of filler to support the corners of the mouth which puts back in the structure there once was and helps soften the marionette line.
Aftercare
After treatment, I advise my patients not to do anything that will make them hot or flushed (red in the face) otherwise there is a risk of the Botox spreading to a muscle we are not intending to treat. Examples of this would be exercise, saunas, sunbeds (don’t use sunbeds ever anyway!), lots of alcohol or facials. After 24 hours you can do any of the above as the Botox won’t move after this.
